FROM WASHINGTON.
The President Troubled About the
Inter. state Commission.
MIR. Morrison Likely to be One Of
the Five Commissioners.
No Decision Yet Regarding the New
Secretary of the Treasury.
WASHINGTON, Feb. q.
fcnaotal m the PRFaS.l

WASHINGTON, Feb. q.
Especial to the PREss)
There is no doubt that the President is
finding the appointment of the five commits
sioners called for by the interstate commerce
bill, little the hardest nut to crack that he
has met with in the way of appointment dur
ing his term of office. The number of men
who think themselves abundantly capable of
filling position upon this commission, and
of drawing the $500 salary appended there
to is variously.stated from three to five hun
dred. Out of so great an amount of ayaila-
bic material it is no wonder that he finds 1t
difficult to determine upon the five best men.
1t is thought to be certain that he has not as
yet absolutely decided upon a single. men,
Der. 1t is known to be his wish to make the
appointments before the adjournment of
Congress, but as that occurs in ten days there
is quite possibility that he will not be able
to reach decision before that time expires.
The nominations may however be sent in
by the latter part of this week.
The plan of nominating one or more of the
retiring Senators or Representatives to a
place on the commission has not met with
much favor with him, but if any one of them
has any chance for it, it is Mr.. Morrison. 1t
will doubtless be happy day for him when
the appointments are finally made, for ever
since the bill passed he has been oyerIrun
with callers proffering advice regarding
whom he should appoint, and this, combined
with the labor of examining and signing bills
writing yetoes and other routine business
has kept his mind full of business for the
last three or four weeks, and the midnight
oil'' has been burned nightly in the endeavor
to keep up with his work.
